The best 3 months of my life!

Studying abroad in Florence was the best decision I have made through CEA CAPA. I always knew going to college and studying abroad was one of my top priorities and experiences I wanted to have. Everything blew my expectations out of the water, as I was not anticipating the guidance, transparency, and support that CEA CAPA offered. I was able to form relationships and connections not only with my roommates, who were perfect and randomly assigned, but also with the locals. I was also able to embark on excursions and travel to places I never imagined I would be able to go to. This broadened my outlook on different cultures and ways of life. Academically, I also had a tremendously positive experience, as I was able to get to know my professors one-on-one and immerse myself in my education, which I found very interesting. Seeing the material I was learning by going on field trips to different museums and monuments was a highlight of my time in Florence. Overall, there is not one thing I would have changed; I was able to grow within my identity, meet best friends for life, learn about new cultures, and so much more!
